It become clear just a few pages into this book what it means to be a
classic. The Count of Monte Cristo is the definition of absolutely
amazing. It has the perfect combination of adventure, excitement,
mystery, humor, love, loss, sorrow, and I can go on and on, but I will
spare you. Throughout the book you want Edmond to succeed and to get
insight into his mind as his plan unfolds is spectacular. Some of the
pieces I could only put together as they were happening, to which I find
myself in the "now I see" moment. Such a clever book, and such a great
writer. I have already began to use some of the dialogue of this book in
my everyday life, which my dog does not appreciate because she claims
the term "wretched scoundrel" does not truly capture her essence. All
in all, if I were someone who liked reading, then you would enjoy this
book.
Also, just a little disclaimer: regardless of whether you
saw the movie adaptation of the book (which was a great movie), or
whether or not you enjoyed the movie, the book is far better and much
much different.
